Quantitative real-time PCR technique for the identification of E. coli residual DNA in streptokinase recombinant product

Recombinant streptokinase is a biopharmaceutical which is usually produced in E. coli. Residual DNA as a contamination and risk factor may remain in the product. It is necessary to control the production procedure to exclude any possible contamination. The aim of the present study was to develop a highly specific and sensitive quantitative real-time PCR-based method to determine the amount of E. coli DNA in recombinant streptokinase. A specific primers and a probe was designed to detect all strains of E. coli. To determine the specificity, in addition to using NCBI BLASTn, 28 samples including human, bacterial, and viral genomes were used. The results confirmed that the assay detects no genomic DNA but E. coli’s and the specificity was determined to be 100%. To determine the sensitivity and limit of detection of the assay, a 10-fold serial dilution (10¹ to 10⁷ copies/µL) was tested in triplicate. The sensitivity of the test was determined to be 101 copies/µL or 35 fg/µL. Inter-assay and intra-assay were determined to be 0.86 and 1.69%, respectively. Based on the results, this assay can be used as an accurate method to evaluate the contamination of recombinant streptokinase in E. coli.

Inhibition of Real-Time PCR in DNA Extracts from Aquifer Sediment

Variation in inhibition of real-time PCR was investigated with DNA extracts from 50 aquifer sediment core samples of 5 cm length collected through a 2.5 meter vertical profile across a landfill leachate plume. The inhibition was quantified using an internal control of the green fluorescent protein ( gfp ) gene, which was spiked into the real-time PCR reactions. The inhibition was investigated at two gfp gene concentrations: at 1.7 · 10 ⁷ gfp gene copies/g sediment (5.1 · 10 ⁴ gfp gene copies/PCR reaction) and at 1.7 · 10 ⁵ gfp gene copies/g sediment (5.1 · 10 ² gfp gene copies/PCR reaction). Despite the low TOC content of the sediment (average 0.4 mg C/g dw) the average real-time PCR response was partially inhibited, compared to a reference (pure water), at both high and low gfp concentrations. The relative amplification (reference = 1) was 0.85 ± 0.20 (high) and 0.66 ± 0.23 (low), showing significantly (P < 0.05) stronger inhibition at the lower target gene concentration. The inhibition of the real-time PCR did not show a systematic variation in the vertical profile related to plume position but variations were significant on a small scale of 5–15 cm depth intervals. One of the 50 samples failed to produce a signal with either concentration of the gfp internal control and three other samples inhibited real-time PCR at both high and low gfp concentration. These 4 samples, which were the samples with the highest inhibition, were the only DNA extracts with a visible brown colouration, indicating contents of humic-like substances. Elevated absorbance at 400 nm of these samples also indicated that humic-like substances were responsible for inhibition. However, other factors not associated with either absorbance or TOC may have contributed to the inhibition in less inhibited samples since the variation in real-time PCR response could not be sufficiently explained by absorbance or TOC. The results of this study suggest that an internal control is needed in real-time PCR reactions with DNA from environmental samples due to variation in inhibition to correctly quantify the number of target genes, especially at low target gene concentrations, when dilution of DNA extracts is not practical.     

Rapid and Economic DNA Extraction from a Single Salmon Egg for Real-Time PCR Amplification

Salmon eggs are common in Japanese sushi and other seafood products; however, certain fish eggs are used as counterfeit salmon eggs which are found in foods and processed products. This study develops a simple, rapid, and cost-effective method for DNA extraction, filtration (FT) and dilution (DL) protocols from a single salmon egg with good DNA quality for real-time PCR amplification. The DNA amount, DNA quality, and real-time PCR performance for different dilutions and different lengths of PCR amplicons were evaluated and compared with the common Qiagen tissue kit (QTK) and Chelex-100-based (CX) protocols. The extracted DNA from a single salmon egg using the FT or DL protocol can be applied in phylogenic research, food authentication and post-marketing monitoring of genetically modified (GM) food products.     

A New Approach to the Isolation of Genomic DNA from Yeast and Fungi: Preparation of DNA-containing Cell Envelopes and Their Use in PCR

A simple and rapid procedure for the preparation of yeast and fungal DNA samples useful in PCR amplification was developed. The DNA was purified from proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and other impurities by high-temperature extraction (in a boiling water bath) with buffer solutions containing chaotropic salts. Under these conditions, yeast and fungal cell envelopes remain unbroken and retain the original DNA and RNA that could be used for direct PCR amplification. We called the proposed PCR technique as the PCR using DNA-containing cell envelopes.     

Simultaneous quantitative assessment of circulating cell-free mitochondrial and nuclear DNA by multiplex real-time PCR

Quantification of circulating nucleic acids in plasma and serum could be used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for monitoring a wide variety of diseases and conditions. We describe here a rapid, simple and accurate multiplex real-time PCR method for direct synchronized analysis of circulating cell-free (ccf) mitochondrial (mtDNA) and nuclear (nDNA) DNA in plasma and serum samples. The method is based on one-step multiplex real-time PCR using a FAM-labeled MGB probe and primers to amplify the mtDNA sequence of the ATP 8 gene, and a VIC-labeled MGB probe and primers to amplify the nDNA sequence of the glycerinaldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH) gene, in plasma and serum samples simultaneously. The efficiencies of the multiplex assays were measured in serial dilutions. Based on the simulation of the PCR reaction kinetics, the relative quantities of ccf mtDNA were calculated using a very simple equation. Using our optimised real-time PCR conditions, close to 100% efficiency was obtained from the two assays. The two assays performed in the dilution series showed very good and reproducible correlation to each other. This optimised multiplex real-time PCR protocol can be widely used for synchronized quantification of mtDNA and nDNA in different samples, with a very high rate of efficiency.     

Detection of Plasmodium vivax by Nested PCR and Real-Time PCR

Malaria is endemic in the Cukurova region while it is sporadic in other regions of Turkey. Therefore, the laboratory and clinical diagnosis of malaria is important for the treatment of malaria. In this study, 92 blood samples that were taken from the suspected malaria patients for routine diagnosis in a period of 10 years between 1999 and 2009 were analyzed. All of these blood samples were examined by microscopic examinations using Giemsa-stained thick blood films, nested PCR, and real-time PCR. The sensitivity-specificity and positive-negative predictive values for these diagnostic tests were then calculated. It was found that the positive predictive values of microscopic examination of thick blood films, nested PCR, and real-time PCR were 47.8%, 56.5%, and 60.9% for malaria, respectively. The real-time PCR was found to have a specificity of 75% and sensitivity of 100%, while specificity and sensitivity of nested PCR was found 81.2% and 97.7% according to the microscopic examination of thick blood films, respectively.
